What do you get if you combine Franz Ferdinand guitarist Nick McCarthy, his Austrian wife and poet Alexander Ragnew? The experimental art-pop leanings of Box Codax, of course. Over two albums – 2006's Only an Orchard Away and 2011's Hellabuster – the trio have proved to be genre connoisseurs, flitting artfully between skewed disco, prog and post-punk. Dawning, the closing track on Hellabuster, is a more stripped-down affair, the high-in-the-mix vocals dominating a skeletal guitar figure to create a lo-fi musical number. For the video – a Guardian exclusive – the band turned to musician and artist, Martin Creed, who won the 2001 Turner prize, and in 2008 got sprinters to run the length of Tate Britain. Dawning is his take one of those lyric videos used before the final version is completed, only a lot better and with highlighter pens instead of awful graphics. So, as the lyrics are sung, different coloured pens slide across the text, highlighting the words at the exact same moment. The result is strangely hypnotic.
